Hey y'all! It sounds like all y'all are doing so well :) I am so happy to hear that! This week went SO fast for me! I can't believe it's already Monday! Anywho- this week we saw so many miracles! Both big and small- our branch went on our monthly temple trip and it was AWESOME! Last month... we struggled in numbers having only like 5 or 6 members at the temple... so this month we made it a goal to have at least 15 members to the temple- and we exceeded that goal! We had 17 members to the temple (not including the branch presidency or the missionaries) and 4 of them did family names! It was so neat! The temple was PACKED and we had about 60 people performing work in the baptistry that night! Sister Affleck and I have made it a goal to continue helping our members be involved and excited about missionary work, so this year as a branch, we are going to give someone the gift of the Book of Mormon this Christmas season! Tonight, we are in charge of Family Home Evening and are going to put this goal into action! Each member of the branch will receive a copy of the Book of Mormon to write their testimony in the front cover, wrap it up in cute wrapping paper, and give the ultimate gift this year... Christ! In a couple of days the church's new Christmas Video will be up! christmas.mormon.org #sharethegift CHECK IT OUT! Remember the reason for the season :)
Canyon YSA is booming! We have seen so much success in these past few weeks, it is unreal! I LOVE serving here! Young Single Adults are so open- minded and ready to receive the gospel! They have such a strong desire to come closer to Christ and are so teachable!
We had a great zone conference this past week where President Heap and the AP's taught us how to reach out to others and not only "teach" them, but how to "heal" them! We can only be healed through Christ and his perfect atonement. I am so grateful for my Savior and all that he has done for me and each and every one of us! I know that Heavenly Father truly does answer our prayers and is so involved in the details of our lives! This gospel has changed my life and I have such a strong desire to share it with everyone I meet! The hymn says it best: "Because I have been given much, I too must give..." I love you all so much! Have a great Thanksgiving and don't forget to count your many blessings!
LOVE,
Sister Evans
